You can use a warm washcloth to soak and clean the beak after each feeding. Provide a mineral block, concrete perches or bird safe chew toys to maintain beak length. If it is cracked, overgrown or misaligned then Blue will need to be physically examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet.
